When did you remove the Bluetooth features in the stylus?

No more Bluetooth in stylus. So no more ability to cube camera remotely using the stylus.

WHY IN THE **bleep** DO THEY KEEP REMOVING THE FEATURES WE LIKE?

first they take away Sport mode in camera which allowed us to take action shots without the blur.

And now we can't take shots remotely.

Can someone explain why they think this is a good thing?

BRING IT BACK!!!!

S pen Bluetooth lasted from Note 9 until the S Ultra 24.
S ultra 25 no longer had Bluetooth.

Technically you don't need just the Spen to take photos anymore.

There are many different options to perform this task. Voice ( my preferred method, faster than the Bluetooth handshake) or a hand gesture. Device control, a Galaxy Watch or a Galaxy ring will work too. If an actual shutter button is your preferred method, you will need to purchase a Bluetooth shutter.

Had you read the specs of the device before purchase you would have known this.

I understand that Bluetooth was removed to make the S-Pen slimmer, to be able to fit into the somewhat slimmer S26 Ultra case.

What I miss about Bluetooth is the reminder to put the Pen back into the phone.
